Template talk:Drmspeedy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Templates for deletion This template was considered for deletion on 2006 August 21. The result of the discussion was to keep.

I just created this page as a first-level warning to people who completely remove speedy deletion tags from pages. See: Drmafd. I'll be making level 2, 3, and 4 templates as well. JHMM13 (T | C) 22:33, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Thanks, they are very useful. However, it seems that when I tag {{subst:Drmspeedy}}, the afd tag will also be expanded and causes format problem. So, I have taken the liberty of moving the nowiki tag around... --Hurricane111 17:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Where is the official policy?

Where is the policy behind this page? There are no consequences to my knowledge for removing a speedy tag from a page, and the existence of this template is not based on any consensus.

As far as I ca see the relevant statement from WP:CSD is

"When there is reasonable doubt whether a page does, discussion is recommended, using one of the other methods under deletion policy."

[edit] Formatting after the template

I don't know much about templates. Someone put this template on my talk page in a discussion about one of my articles and when I added a comment it was butted up against the signature. --Gbleem 12:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarifications required?

Might the phrase "and make your case on the article's talk page" be emphasised? Some creators (mainly ones creating vainity articles, it must be said) seem to think that a {{hangon}} tag is enough. Additionally the template might be clearer on

  • Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag - add {{hangon}} as well and
  • Add the hangon tag on the article, not its talk page.

My experience on NP patrol is that often people will add hangon and remove the sd tag (assuming good faith they're doing so out of confusion, not malice) or place the hangon tag on the affected article's talk page.

Unless anyone has any rooted objection I propose making the above clearer in the template. Tonywalton  | Talk 18:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

This sounds like a reasonable clarification, especially for newer users. --NMChico24 23:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
